Based on a qualitative study through eight expert interviews, it examines those three dimensions and how they affect sustainability and global trade dynamics. The results show that AI offers clear benefits in forecasting, efficiency, and emissions reduction, but only when certain factors are met. This study bridges the gap between theory and practice by providing firms with insights to enhance supply chain resilience and competitiveness in an increasingly digital and sustainable global world.engArtificial IntelligenceSupply chain managementGlobal tradeSustainabilityDigital transformationIntegrating Artificial Intelligence in supply chain management - implications for sustainability and global trademaster thesis203990226
